Is your screen name becoming a character in it's own right?
or is it just an extention of who you are and who you want to be?
Does having a constent screen name create the idea of a "real" person? or does it create a dissoiative identity?
If you have multipul screen names could be be psycologily considered a person who suffers from disasosiative Idenity disorder(multiple personalities)?

by the way...I've been convicted of Gramatical Homicide, and charged 18 years to life, so don't bother telling me about all the spelling mistakes. It's already on my record.
My screen name has forced me to sign a disclaimer that anything I say in a non-internet context represents my own views only and cannot be taken to represent the views of MuseSusan, Inc.
On the topic of off-topic-ness, considering that the first post instructed us to use non-sequiturs, and yet a good portion of the posts so far have either been in direct response to the post above or have addressed the topic of being off-topic, I'd say we're going off-topic rather nicely.
To get back to the topic at hand, I'd just like to add, "banana".

Where I live, all the bars are full of nuts - mostly female ones. Dunno if any of them are called Hazel, though.
You have established an interesting off topic, for if you are not going to post on this forum how did we get your message conveying this?
Perhaps this is a manifestation of a screen name becoming an identity in its own right and manifesting itself all over the place. You would think it would have the decency to manifest in one spot only. Definitely not house trained.

Indeed, I'm one of those Dick Dale fans-
now, where'd you hide the cheese?
